Delving into Prague"s architectural history, this study demonstrates how it covers twelve centuries of the art of building. Within this volume, many houses are detailed inside as well as out, revealing Romanesque spaces that survive below ground in many Old Town structures while most of the ground floors still follow the Gothic layouts. Renaissance masonry is illustrated, supporting walls and facades that are often in Baroque style, and modern times are captured in the new styles of Art Nouveau, Cubism, and Functionalism.
